Dropped something on my wrist. had it x-rayed-no broken bones. vein is now showing (swollen?) on side of wrist and hurts when touched, a searing pain

The trauma to your: wrist may have damaged the lining of the vein which lead to formation of a blood clot. This would make it painful and swollen. It is unlikely that it will cause you any harm. Analgesics and a heating pad on low should help it.
